Episode 22: Cozy, Cozy Kdrama

Show Notes
In this episode we do lots of stuff, so just listen. Just kidding! After chatting about news, what we’re watching, and how Roommate has been letting us down of late, we answer Kdrama-related questions, which have us coming almost to blows over the epic question “Super Junior or Big Bang?” and wondering which Kdrama heroine we would most want to be. Then we move over to talking about comfort watches, dramas that are our go to’s if we are sick or just want to be cheered up.

Is what I think to myself as I cross another drama off my end of the year list–but then as I look at the remaining list–I realize I have a long ways to go. It’s almost daunting as, now that I’ve committed myself to this challenge, I’m determined to do it right.

First two weeks? Gangbusters. I finished several dramas and completed a few more. Last week? My watching declined sharply–however I did get to go to Korean movie night for a viewing of Lee Joon’s Rough Play and was delighted to be invited to the Korean Movie festival where I watched Gyeongju where there was a question and answer session with the director. (Thanks Madeline for the ticket!)

So it’s not like I didn’t watch anything, it’s just with the amount of dramas on the list, my efforts were subpar, unacceptable, F-.

I’m still also having trouble finding a bit of a balance between watching dramas and actually blogging about them as I feel a responsibility to both. (I sound like such an exciting person, don’t I?) I long for the days when I will have a laptop again, and I can more easily do both.

Thirteen? Is it unlucky thirteen? We certainly hope not! In response to a voicemail, Cherry and I try to disagree more — or maybe that was just me — and just wait until you hear how many dramas I made my way through the last two weeks.

Episode 11! I’m trying so hard to make these shorter — it’s possible I’m fighting a losing battle. I literally cut 45 minutes from this episode. What can I say, Cherry and I are chatty, chatty, chatty. I’m so excited to actually be able to contribute something to the ‘what we’re watching’ section — it’s possible the anticipated shame of announcing I hadn’t seen anything made me sit down and watch something. So, yay!
